Hi,
I am trying to use a VPN connection to connect to my sons computer to
transfer some videos. I have tried a direct connection but becuase he
is using a wireles router windows tries to connect to the router
rarther than his computer. And the story is the same the other way
round when he tries to connect to me i am using a wireless router and
his computer connects triest to connect to the router.This means no
connection as the router cant understnad what windows is telling it. I
would like to setup a VPN connection between the two computers. How can
i do this using the routers. They are both Netgear DG834GT. The ones
that come with Sky Broadband.
Thanx

Hi

Also if Sky has provided your netgear. they will probably have secured it
against tampering.
But normally the default IP address of the router is 192.168.0.1 and then
admin (username & password) password.
